Description
The HPE LTO7 M8 Ultrium7 M8 Data Cartridge (specially labelled HPE LTO7 data cartridge) holds up to 9TB of native (uncompressed) data, or up to 22.5TB of compressed data. The HPE LTO 7 M8 cartridge has a higher speed of 360 MB/sec when writing in native mode and up to 900 MB/sec when writing in compressed mode. The HPE LTO7 M8 tape cartridge is, in fact, a new LTO7 tape cartridge with a special barcode label applied to allow it to be used in an LTO8 tape library drive with the higher capacity and speed. The HPE LTO7 M8 tape is not pre-initialised; therefore, the LTO8 drive in the tape library must have the latest firmware releases, and the tape must be new and have the correct barcode applied. The LTO8 drive in the tape library will initialise it as an LTO7 M8 tape, with higher capacity and speed than the LTO7 tape it originally was. This will not work with LTO7 tapes used previously or with LTO8 library drives that do not have the latest firmware applied. Always check with your manufacturer to ensure your LTO-8 drive or library is compatible with pre-initialising LTO-7 M8 tapes!
